He has had kid’s relaxer applied to his hair about fourtimes in five years (one recently) and to the best of my knowledge, therewasn't any noticeable damage. We applied it sparingly for minimal time to getthe hair soft enough to plait.

I noticed progressive damage after moving from a hot, humid country to Englandduring winter. Low humidity, dry winter air and blast of hot airfrom heating the home caused his hair to lose moisture, dry our and started tobreak.I admit there was gross neglect on my part.

Right now I just use a simple moisturizer and lock it inwith coconut oil.

Further contributions from anyone as regards where to go from here would be appreciated.

Wow. Your 5 year old son has chemically damaged hair. Why is it so important to you to alter your child's hair? ]]>

Hi everyone, I hope I someone would kindly help me out as my 5year old boy's hair is in a terrible state.

My guess is he has type 4C, fine hair.

2. His hair is dry and breaks very badly due to poor management.3. About 3/4 of the hair is still chemically processed but most of the under-growth isn't visible because the hair is packed in these photos.

I would love to achieve the following:A: stop and repair breakage;B: Grow his hair as long as possible;C: Start a transition to natural hair and finish with a routine that is as natural as possible.

I would like to get his hair to look like the last photo even if it takes years.

Please see photos of his hair as it looks at this time:https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzymwSAsQt7EZ0dCMi1JRTFPYTQ&usp=sharing

The extra photo is a group or items I bought off the internet - I've used none but the kids

conditioner to the left of the photo.Please advise if I need to replace these with other products if they would be safer and do a
